I implemented it by redefining \tt:
  \definecharacterkerning[tight][factor=-.075]
  \let\oldtt=\tt
  \def\tt{\setcharacterkerning[tight]\oldtt}

However, I find this a bit of a kludge. But opinions may differ, of course.
Can this be done in a more general way? For example by setting some font 
feature?


no, becasue it is independent of font features (and also less efficient 
that using a narrow tt font)

Hi,

I am trying to typeset some strings in {\tt ...}, but they turn out to be 
pretty wide. So, I would like to compress those bits of text a little. Any 
hints on how I could do that locally, that is without adjusting the entire font.

Thank you,
Malte.
